For the sixth year in a row, the Ho-Ho-Kus Garden Club has decorated The Hermitage for the holiday season.

To achieve the Christmas tea theme, “each room of museum has been decorated with its own tea party setup, complete with its own distinctive tea service with all of the fixings,” said Mimi Duffy, the Ho-Ho-Kus Garden Club member in charge of this year’s decorating project.

The various setups on display include: a formal party in the dining room, a child’s party in the children’s bedroom, and special baking displays in preparation for the tea parties in the kitchen.

The decorations will remain on display through Jan. 20.

The museum, at 335 North Franklin Tnpke., Ho-Ho-Kus, is open 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, but will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
